Quite an old lens judging by that reviews but looks good nonetheless. Wonder how it fares against something like the Nikon 24-70 f/2.8?

Where have you seen one? Might be a good alternative for me to look at for my works kit.

Does anyone know about 28-70mm f/2.6-2.8 (canon mount)? I don't want to buy it just to review it.

I've got it in Pentax mount.

I've got it in Pentax mount.

Is it sharp?

Could you link to some sample photos please? I would like to see some full size photos wide open and stopped down.

I'll get something sorted (but don't hold your breath too long )

I prefer something longer or shorter, and it's a big lump which earlier Pentax dSLRs find a bit of a problem to AF, because they use AA batteries which soon run out of oomph.

It was the first decent AF lens I bought, and I wanted it for parties etc with AF assist from the flash when I was still 100% film. I had no need for AF before then! It cost less than £110 incl P&P, sent from Germany. But that was a while ago. I saw one listed by Mifsuds last year when a friend was wondering what to get for his 40D.

Hi All. Thanks for the responce. Looks like it could be a good option against the nikon and sigma lens.
